-- CAPITEC FINANCIAL BANK LTD . RODEPOORT BRANCH, JOHANNESBURG, SOUTH AFRICA. Tel: +27787729397 Fax: +27865854960 Email: graciaromanies@hotmail.com Let me start by introducing myself. I am Mr.Gracia A Romanies. Credit officer of Capitec Financial Bank. I have a concealed business suggestion for you. Before the U.S and Iraqi war our client names withheld who was an Iraqi Business Man and also Deals on Arms with the South African Government made a numbered fixed deposit for 18 calendar months, with a value of Nineteen Million Five Hundred Thousand United State Dollars only (US$19.5) in my branch. Upon maturity several notices were sent to him, even during the war, again after the war several notifications were sent and still no response came from him. We later found out that my client and his family had been killed during the war in a bomb blast that hit their home in Iraq. After further investigation it was also discovered that my client did not declare any next of kin in his official papers including the paper work of his bank deposit. And he also confided in me the last time he was at my office that no one except me knew of his deposit in my bank. So, Nineteen Million Five Hundred Thousand United State Dollars is still lying in my bank and no one will ever come forward to claim it. What bothers me most is that according to the laws of my country at the expiration ten years the funds will revert to the ownership of the South African Government if nobody applies to claim the funds. Against this backdrop, I contacted you after lot of search which I believe that you bear the same surname with my deceased client which I want to present you as one of his surviving family member so as to enable you put a claim as the next of kin of my late client and we shall slip the funds as soon as it get to your nominated account. WHAT IS TO BE DONE? I want you to know that I have had everything planned out so that we shall come out successful. I have contacted an attorney that will prepare the necessary document that will back you up as the next of kin to my client, all that is required from you at this stage is for you to provide me with your full Names and Address so that the attorney can commence his job. After you have been made the next of kin, the attorney will also fill in for claims on your behalf and secure the necessary approval and letter of probate/Administration in your favour for the movement of the funds to an account that will be provided by you. There is no risk involved at all in the matter as we are going adopt a legalized method and the attorney will prepare all the necessary documents. Please endeavour to observe utmost discretion in all matters concerning this issue.
